Publisher's summary

The number-one New York Times best-selling author is back with an electrifying new entry in the FBI series featuring Dillon Savich and Lacey Sherlock.

FBI Special Agent Griffin Hammersmith, last seen in Backfire, has been recruited by Dillon Savich to join his unit in Washington, D.C. Savich sees something special in Hammersmith, an almost preternatural instinct for tracking criminals. While on his way to D.C., Hammersmith plans to visit his sister, Delsey, a student at Stanislaus School of Music in Maestro, Virginia. Before he arrives, he gets a phone call that Delsey has been found naked and unconscious, lying in a pool of blood, after a wild party. The blood isn’t hers - so to whom does it belong? Griffin must protect Delsey, but from whom?

Meanwhile, back in D.C., FBI Agents Savich and Sherlock have their hands full when the grandson of a former Federal Reserve Bank chairman is found murdered, every bone in his body broken, his corpse frozen at the foot of the Lincoln Memorial. Was it revenge against his grandfather for the banking crisis, or something more insidious and personal?

It’s a bitter winter, and in the endless cold, evil lurks.

Poor Narration

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The narration

If you’ve listened to books by Catherine Coulter before, how does this one compare?

It is hard to get past the poor narration. It changes the whole timber of the book.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Renee Raudman and Paul Costanzo ?

Jim Meskimen and Deanne Hurst. Actually I have been happy with all the narrators up until this one.

Any additional comments?

The narration can make or break a book

Typical Catherine Coulter

The storyline is typical of the author...not very deep...you need not think too much about what's going on. Unfortunately, Paul Costanzo is a rather bad narrator and Renee Raudman isn't much better. (We get spoiled by the really good narrators.)

Narration so bad I wish I'd bought print version

I've loved all Coulters previous FBI books, but the narration is so bad in this one I put it down after a half hour. I'll wait for it to be available through the library.
I see the same team has done some of the others, but they must have been the ones I read in print.
This team sounds like amateurs reading to an elementary school class and I will not buy another book with these narrators.

Poor narration by Paul Costanzo

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Because the male narration was so awful, this was a book I would have preferred to read.

Would you recommend Bombshell to your friends? Why or why not?

The book yes, but I would never recommend the audiobook. The male narration was stiff and unnatural, more like reading.

Would you be willing to try another one of Renee Raudman and Paul Costanzo ’s performances?

No

Did Bombshell inspire you to do anything?

No

Any additional comments?

The male narration was so bad I will avoid books narrated by him in the future.

Very good narration and story

The story and narration are very good, but there are a lot of characters in this book to follow. Plus there is a lot of flipping between the 2 stories. So 4 stars instead of 5. I love this FBI series though and always enjoy the books. Very entertaining!

Hard to listen to!

Is there anything you would change about this book?

the Narrator!

Would you recommend Bombshell to your friends? Why or why not?

Not particularly

How could the performance have been better?

The Narration was so distracting, I had a very difficult time following the story. If the Narrator is a professional, why would he be so dull, so choppy and do such a bad job adapting his voice to the male characters??

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

I would probably need to read the book first - to see if I enjoy the story.

Any additional comments?

HELP! My ears are protesting!!

Great Story

The Male Reader accentuated the last syllable of every sentence. ..most disconcerning otherwise, the story was great. It held my interest throughout.
